The two are quite different. In one case you're dealing with same instance of AppleScript, while the other is a separate process and separate instance of AppleScript -- you're actually sending an Apple event. That's not to say it couldn't all be done under the hood, but there's still a strong argument for keeping an application's properties private unless you want otherwise.
